This week in Daak: 1. Kashmiri Women by B Prabha 2. Priye, Main Hoon Ek Paheli Bhi by Mahadevi Verma 3. Introducing Our New Thing of Beauty 1. Kashmiri Women by B Prabha, Sotheby’s We loved B Prabha’s little trick in naming this poem — you may come to it expecting a visual ethnography of the women of Kashmir; instead, you will find the warmth and intimacy of female friendship! This obscure little picture is by no means counted amongst Prabha’s most famous creations or even characteristic of her typical style (graceful, grieving women). In fact, it is quite reminiscent of illustrations one finds in children’s books. But to us, it is one of her most cherished works as it captures the essence of sisterly affection and comfort. Send this to a woman after your own heart this Women’s Day!
